From the quote at the top. I keep seeing permutations of this and all I can say is these people are cowards
I have an ex lover that I am still very fond of who is experiencing AI mania as part of their job.
How would it help anyone for me to call them out by name publicly?
The quote is from the founder of hashicorp and is fairly influential. Choosing to let his also influential friends ruin people's lives instead of publicly speaking the truth makes him an asshole. Chances are you and your ex-lover are not influential so I don't give a fuck what you do.
You are 100% correct that I am a fucking nobody, which is a given since I'm posting on Lemmy.
Because fucked them
It's not like it would be news to anybody who follows their professional accounts.
